There are loyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true; Then give to the world the best that you have, And the best will come back to you.
Give love, and love to your life will flow, A strength in your utmost need; Have faith, and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your work and deed.
Give truth, and your gift will be paid in kind, And honour will honour meet; And the smile which is sweet will surely find A smile that is just as sweet.
Give sorrow and pity to those who mourn; You will gather in flowers again The scattered seeds from your thought out-borne Though the sowing seemed but vain.
For life is the mirror of king and slave, ‘This just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best that you have And the best will come back to you.
